Tours

Public Tours. We offer public tours on alternating Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. Saturday tour dates remaining in 2019 are April 27; May 11 & 25; June 8 & 22; July 13 & 27; August 10 & 24; September 7 & 21; October 12 & 26; November 9 & 23; December 14, 2019.

You must reserve your place on the tour in advance. Please arrive 15 minutes early to register. The fee for the tour is $15 per adult and we welcome additional donations to help support our outreach efforts. The tour lasts two to three hours and is mainly outdoors, so be sure to dress for the weather. Please bring your own food if you think you’ll get hungry. On Saturday afternoons, there are sometimes community work projects or in-depth tours of members’ homesites available (the morning tour guide announces afternoon work projects or tours). More information about Saturday tours.

Private Tours. Besides regularly scheduled Saturday tours, our tour guides are available for 2.5- to 3-hour guided tours of Earthaven, including specialized tours focusing on natural building, permaculture design, sustainability, or other topics of interest. Private tour fees are $40 for one person, $50 for two people, and $20/person for three or more. Lower rates apply for larger groups. We do not accept credit cards. We need at least a week’s notice to arrange a private tour. There may be times when no guide is available to give a tour. More information about private tours.

Group Tours. Earthaven also offers Group Educational Tours, a customized experience for schools, universities, and groups. These tours are designed to provide learners with a deeper understanding about sustainable living in community. Some of the activities to choose from include panel discussions with members, land stewardship work projects, community celebration events, and specialized tours. For more information, or to schedule a group educational tour, please contact grouptour~at~earthaven.org.

Also, check our calendar for classes and events, some of which include Earthaven tours.
